Anyone have 2018 Football schedules for the new NorthEast 8 Conference? The schedules on Arbiter, as well as several school websites, seem to reflect their old AAC schedule.
Since this is an 8 team conference, will they play conference games weeks 4-10 exclusively?

Canton CC is scheduled to play at South Range in week 6 of 2018, or will the schedule makers foul that up like the 2016-2017 week 10 contract between Aurora and Canton CC in which the games never happened because Aurora already had a week 10 league game scheduled in 2016?

Correct. It's AAC for football in 2018. The NE8 begins with basketball ( winter sports) in 2018-19 and everything else. The ADs have been told no exceptions and football will run 4-10 for league games.

2018 schedules for all the teams are still the same as this year, with few exceptions. Obviously just reversed in location.

South Range is still independent. But they don’t waste much time in finding games.
2017 did a great job in scheduling. (Manchester, Sharpsville, Sharon, Indian Creek, St. Clairsville, to mention a few).

Girard, Jefferson and Niles will find tough sledding in this league. Girards talent nosedives after next season, Niles is a mess and it will take a new staff some time to get it together, if they can and Jefferson is well, Jefferson. I suspect South Range will do ok as they are trending up. Enrollment is on the upswing and they could end up as a DIV soon. Should be interesting.

I had heard that Springfield wanted out of the contract with South Range. We may continue to play them in other sports, but just like how Springfield quit playing Poland because the schools enrollment changed, I think Springfield feels South Range is just out growing them too much to be competitive in football. That's just my opinion on the situation.

Correct. It's AAC for football in 2018. The NE8 begins with basketball ( winter sports) in 2018-19 and everything else. The ADs have been told no exceptions and football will run 4-10 for league games.

South Range is independent for 2018 football.

The Northeast 8 Begins next fall for all Sorts except Football. Soccer, Volleyball,Golf ect. all starts in the fall. Football will begin in Fall of 2019.

dhs, this is what I have heard so far. I believe they just filled week 7, but I haven't heard who it is yet.

Jefferson from what I was told at a basketball game, their lower levels are bad in everything, not looking good for them.

I think the teams this hurts in order are
Girard - after this year they will wish they were in the lower tier of the aac
Jefferson- won't be able to compete
SR- unless they get their enrollment to keep coming and growing from Canfield, lost their best class this year in a long time
Poland,struthers, Hubbard - won't prepare them well enough for the playoffs

Ouch...alot of challenging games and uncertainty there. They always seem to be up for the challenge but graduating 99% of their offense could prove too difficult for them. Tough finding games in October...should have no problem finding a week 2 game though. Losing WR week 2 is a big blow...lots of harbin points on the line there.

That's high school football though, isn't it? You have to have the next class of seniors step up and lead. Fortunately, the Raiders had a lot of underclassmen play significant roles on the team this past year. Hopefully that translates into them stepping up next year.
